A very weak starting lineup. Not a single player who is a top ten player at his position. Not a single above average starter. Not even an average starting player. All five players are well below average starters with BJ Mullens being one of the worst starting PFs in the league. Read the rest of this entry »

A weak starting lineup. Not sure who’ll get the nod at PF yet but I’ll go with Maxiell for now. A good starting center and small forward. A serviceable starting two guard and two liabilities at PG and PF. Read the rest of this entry »

A very strong starting lineup. One of the best in the league. Arguably the best point guard in the league, the second best center, a top five small forward, a shooting guard that was very impressive in the latter part of last season. The weak point is the power forward position. Read the rest of this entry »

A good starting lineup. An explosive backcourt with a top ten PG and possibly a top ten SG also. A top twelve starting center in Bogut. A middle of the pack starter in David Lee. A below average but serviceable starter in Richard Jefferson. Read the rest of this entry »

This is a weak starting unit. A dysfunctional starting backcourt that lacks defensive integrity and a frontcourt that lacks oomph. I would consider their backcourt below average and for each of their frontcourt players to be borderline top 20 players at their respective positions. So a starting unit that is a bit below average across the board. Read the rest of this entry »

A decent but unexceptional starting unit. Their main strength is on the wings with Andre Iguodala (top six SG) and Danilo Gallinari (top ten SF). They have a good starting PG in Ty Lawson (middle of the pack). Their starting big men, Faried and Mozgov, leave a lot to be desired and are both weak starters. Read the rest of this entry »

A weak starting unit. Three players who are middle of the pack players at their respective positions. Dragic and Gortat slightly above average and Scola now slightly below par. That leaves Wesley Johnson and Michael Beasley who are amongst the worst starters in the league at their positions. Read the rest of this entry »

The shooting guard, small forward and center positions look fairly settled. The PG position (Isiah Thomas and Aaron Brooks) and the PF position (Thomas Robinson and Jason Thompson) are up for grabs.

Overall, this is a very weak starting lineup. No player here is a top 10 or even top 15 player at their respective position. Clearly a lottery team and probably one of the weaker ones at that. Read the rest of this entry »
